Stick In A Pot

About Me

stick in a pot... (def) the unfortunate neglect of pot plants creating a distinct lack of foliage and resulting in an inevitable pathetic sight of scrawny despair and malnourished deterioration. a kinder way of putting it might be the cultivation of naked branches. musically irrelevant botany horror
"Treating us to a beautiful acoustic set, Stick in a Pot managed to shake the crowds ‘tuesday blues’ and create a warm fuzzy feeling within the venue. Managing to uniquely weave their instruments in and around their beautiful vocals each and every song took you on a bit of a journey." - brighton calling
"a stick that sparkles.... quirky, jangly,..... infectious tunes." - the resident
"tender, but frayed songs....Stick In A Pot engage in a fuzzy blur of traditional British folk and a shiny happy version of something not far from a classic REM. " - manchester music
"..varied ...whimsical ..... wobbly... worldy charm and vulnerability ...." - tasty fanzine
"this group in fact have an alarming amount of sensitivity brewing. The folky Brightonians (a folk band, from Brighton?! Never) produce music which is lively, sweet, Dylan-esque, and filled with lovely skittering strumming of various instruments, woven in and out of the vocals..... Very beautiful plinky plonky-ness" - the 405
